Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 10, 1919.

Application filed March 22, 1919. Serial No. 284,281.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JULIUS BARON and HARRY GREENWOOD, citizens of the Umted States, residing at Barnesboro, in the county of Gambria, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Attachment for Barber-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in attachments for barber chairs, the object of the invention being to provide an improved support or holder for the head rest of a barber chair when such head'rest is not in use, and which support is extremely simple in construction and economlcal to manufacture. 0

With the foregoing and other ob ects 1n view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and combination of parts which will be more fully described hereinafter and particularly pointed out 1n the claims.

In the drawing accompanying and forming part of this specification,

Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a barber chair, showing our improved head rest support applied thereto, the head rest belng also shown in dotted lines inserted in said holder; and

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the support.

The same characters of reference des gnate the same parts in the figures of the drawing.

In the embodiment of the invention herein illustrated, 2 designates the back of a barber chair and 3 the usual head rest at the top thereof which is used when a customer is being shaved. When the customer requires a haircut this head rest must be removed from the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1, since it would be in the of the operator. We have, therefore, provided an attachment which is adapted to be secured to the lower edge'of the back of the chair for the reception of said head rest. The attachment 4 in the present instance comprises a piece of wire bent in the manner shown in Fig. 2 so as to form a pair of depending parallel U-shaped portions 5, a C-shaped portion 6 lying in a horizontal plane at right angles to said U-shaped portions, and a horizontal bar 7 connecting the ends of the U-shaped portions. Secured on the horizontal bar 7 is the holder member proper, which consists of a single piece of mm 8 bent at its ends first to form eyes 9 through which the horizontal bar 7 passes, thereby to form a hinge connection between the bar 7 and the member 8, said member being then bent to form adjacent to said eyes 9, a pair of approximately inverted U-shaped portions 10 adapted to rest against the back of the chair, thereby to maintain the holder in the position shown in Fig. 2, with the main portions 8 horizontal and the portions 11 extending upwardly at an obtuse angle from said portions 8, said portions 11 being connected by a horizontal portion 12. The device is applied to the chair by placing the U-shaped ortions 5 so as to straddle the lower edge 0 the chair back and securing the legs of the U-shaped portionsto said back by means of staples or any other suitable fastening mean, the C- shaped portion 6 extending beneath the seat of the chair. In practice, an advertising plate, as shown'at 13 in Fig. 1, may be inserted between the back of the chair and the portions 10 of the holder.

While we have described in detail the structure herein illustrated, it is to be understood that we do not thereby limit our invention to the precise features of construction shown, as we are aware that many mechanical changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. 7

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is:

1. The combination with a barber chair, of ahead-rest support comprising a pair of U-shaped members adapted to straddle the lower edge of the chair back and having a horizontal portion adapted to underlie the seat of the chair, said U-shaped members being connected together by a horizontal bar, and a member hinged to said bar and provided with means for receiving the head rest.

2? The combination with a barber chair, of a head-rest support comprising a pair of U-shaped members adapted to straddle the lower edge of the chair back and having a horizontal portion adapted to underlie the seat of the chair, said U-shaped members being connected together by a horizontal bar, all of said members comprising an integral structure, and amember hinged to said bar and provided with means for receiving the head rest.

3. The combination with a barber" chair, of a head-rest support comprising a pair of U-shaped members adapted tos'traddIe' the lower edge of the chair back and having a horizontal portion adapted to underlie the seat of the chair, said U-shaped members be ing connected together by'a horizontal bar,

all of said members comprising. an integral structure, and an integral member hinged to said bar and bent to forma pair of members adapted torest against "theback of the chair, a; pair ofhorizontal members proje'cting' therefrom, and a pair of members extending at an obtuse angle from said hOIlzonta-I members and connected together by JULIUS BARON.
